Although Gu'er understood Sun Jiaming, she couldn't tell him that she really hadn't wanted children back then.
"Gu'er, in your dream... did you have any children?"
When Gu'er didn't answer, Sun Jiaming asked again. As he spoke, his body tensed and his heart leaped into his throat. He knew it was just a dream and couldn't be taken seriously, yet he couldn't understand why he was so nervous.
"No."
Gu'er paused before answering. Before Sun Jiaming could even sigh in relief, she added, "In my dream, all I remember is Zhang Da hitting and cursing me. I dreamed of many other things, but very little about myself. It was only one night, so I couldn't have dreamed of too much. And as for you, I never heard anyone in the dream say you and Zhou Mei had children."
Gu'er's words finally put Sun Jiaming's heart at ease. 'Neither of us had children. That's good.'
